We are kicking off what is going to be a stellar season of coffees from Peru with this delightful comfort coffee from Elver Rodriguez. Elver grows coffee organically on his farm El Mirador, under the canopy of native shade trees.  If the sustainability efforts aren't reason enough to love Elver, he also runs his own coffee shop called Royal, in the nearby town of Beirut.  Why? Because he wants the local community to experience the same quality of the coffee that international markets purchase. Legendary.

The first thing we love about this lot is the sweet aromatics which also translate into an uber sweet cup. Chocolate brownie mid tones predominate from hot to cold, and are complimented by golden raisin and a nougat sweet finish. If you need a little extra comfort right now, this sweet balanced coffee will snuggle your palate like a soft warm blanket.

1Spot purchase

“Spot” is coffee in an importer’s inventory they have not sold. When we need to fill gaps in our contractual and relationship purchases, we buy spot. Of course, we are always open to spot becoming relationship purchases, and sometimes they do.

2Contract purchase

Most of our purchases are contractual, meaning we have made a commitment to purchase the coffee before it arrives in the US. In general contracts are meant to build security for the producer and importer, and to help us make sure we have the coffee we need to share with you.

3Repeat purchase

We are proud of the fact that many of the coffees we purchase are repeat purchases, and have been for years. Most producers, especially from Central and South America, can count on us purchasing their coffee year after year.

4Visits

We’ve met, and have an ongoing relationship with the producer. At a minimum, they have visited us at Sweet Bloom, or we have visited them on the farm. As the relationship deepens, we build our understanding of:

1) challenges faced from one year to the next
2) sustainability practices on the farm
3) how the farmer is caring for their staff
4) ways in which we can support projects the farmers have implemented on the farm and in the community
